Reminder on Good Quoting Etiquette

[Nine]

I usually put most videos I include in my posts in hide tags, I just find it less disruptive to whatever I was saying. That said I've been having trouble with youtube links not working when you put them in hide tags recently.

I wonder if it counts as changing or misquoting. If we just make up something that the person never actually said. As opposed to altering a real quote....

Obviously, (or at least I think it's obvious) this is just a made up quote using Stimbo as my example. Mostly bc I like Stimbo and I'm already on a role today anyways

Yes it most certainly does. We won't allow people to cite something invented unless, as noted in the rule 14 guidelines, it is in the form of a jest that both parties are privy to.

I'm sorry. That was not a serious question. I can edit my post if you want.

It's a good thing I decided to keep reading - I was seriously about to make out a report and moderate that post for you. Now I know the context, I see it does illustrate a good point so as far as I'm concerned I don't mind you leaving it as is.
